A Taste for Travel (2)

Drink clean water. In many places, tap water isn't safe to drink. In these places, avoid ordering drinks made with water or served with ice. Drink bottled water or soda instead.

Skip the fresh fruit. It might look and taste delicious. But if it's been washed in dirty water, it may make you sick. You can't tell by looking at it, so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Choose meat that has been cooked recently and well. Meat and seafood that have been left out for a long time are dangerous to eat. If it doesn't look or smell OK, move on.

Watch the locals. They will avoid a food cart that has made them sick before.

Be prepared. Take medicines that can ease your symptoms. These won't cure whatever bug you've picked up. But they will help the pain when there's no place to rest and recover.

With these tips in mind, you're ready to dig in! Street food is part of the travel adventure; don't be afraid to try something different. You never know - you might discover a new favorite dish!
